Welcome
to an all new world of vampyres, demons, and fallen angels, in COME
THE NIGHT, the first in a series by Angelique
Armae.
Lazarus Conlon's mother had saved her son Lazarus, son of a mortal and
a fallen angel, from a terrible fate when, as an infant, she'd asked her
father to convert the child to vampyre. But had she truly saved him? Another
child of angel blood had not been so lucky, and threatens the fate of
Lazarus and the vampyre clan of which he is now the patriarch. Lazarus'
wife and only love, Neomina Delacroix, appointed heiress of the Tracker
Council and the keeper of the Amulet of Christ and the St. John Stake,
a woman born to hunt his breed, has sealed her allegiance to her
own people in blood. But destiny has decreed that she is the only hope
for the survival of her husband and his clan against the evil that stalks
them. Which will she choose, duty or love?

The
Damask Circle formed over a hundred years ago with Seline, a witch and
Michael, a vampire. They are to protect humans from the outlaws in the
supernatural community. Over time, others have joined the organization.
In CIRCLE OF FIRE
we share the adventure of one of the Circles shape-shifting members,
Jon, who finds an untrained talent in Madeline while protecting her and
others from a dangerous outlawed witch. Is it that she needs Jon to help
her harness her talent -- or is it love? Private Investigator Nikki James
meets up with Michael in DANCING
WITH THE DEVIL. Nikki has psi abilities, which she uses on the job.
This draws out a rogue vampire wishing to possess her. Michael saves her
life by binding her to him and later she returns the favor. Love between
an immortal and human is difficult at best. Michael
has been battling his bloodlust, as well as the madman bent on revenge.
Nikki's gift may have reawakened it. He must leave her or risk destroying
her. But can they survive the separation? They don't have to for long.
In HEARTS IN DARKNESS,
destiny and disaster bring them together again. This time Michael must
face the vampire who made him, and his only hope of salvation is Nikki's
love. This tale brings to light the changes in Nikkis powers due
to her blood bond to Michael. Will these new talents grow along with their
love? Keri
Arthur has more to come for Michael and Nikki and of course other
members of the Damask Circle.

He
was a healer, yet for the last four hundred years he'd been doomed to
live off the blood of others. Still Alesandro de Avallone was not a cold
blooded killer. He'd paid his unwilling benefactors back for their gifts
on many occasions. Life for life. He had taken the blood of the dying
and cured them with his own. He'd never given any of them a second thought
until he met Analisa Matthews. She was different, special, innocent, and
pure. Her spirit melted what was left of his heart, but what did he have
to offer her besides danger? A comfortable life, perhaps. Surely not a
lifetime of love and yet ...Veteran author Amanda
